Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 67
The banquet begins.

The singing came from the Huae Building and fell in Xue Bai's ears.

"There is a Tang Dynasty in Zhaozhao, and the heavens serve all nations. The ancestors obeyed, and the four sects obeyed. Shenxi has no borders, and the sect has the same virtue. The great-grandson inherits Xu, enjoys the gods and matches the extreme..."

Xue Bai couldn't help thinking, if there weren't so many quarrels, and he could concentrate on enjoying the Shangyuan Lantern Festival this night, it would actually be nice to invite a few friends to eat and hang out.

suddenly.

"Erlang? Really Erlang?"

Xue Bai turned around to look, and saw an old servant in Tsing Yi stumbled towards him from a group of servants, crying loudly before he arrived.

He took two steps back, avoiding the hand of the old servant who wanted to help him.

The opponent's movements were slightly stagnant, but there was no pause in emotion.

"The old slave finally found Erlang... A Lang! Your long-lost son is back... Let me in! I want to see A Lang and tell him that Er Lang is back..."

The guard at the gate of the Hua'e Tower was the Sergeant Long Wu, with a long halberd in his hand, he pushed the old servant away.

"retreat!"

"I want to see Ah Lang... Erlang from the Hongnong County Government has been found!"

"If you don't retreat, shoot and kill!"

"Ah Lang! The old slave found Erlang, and died without regret..."

"What's the noise?"

Sure enough, a servant rushed over.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the arrangements of Li Xiu and Yang Shenjin, but Xue Bai just watched calmly.

At this moment, when one dance music in Huae Building ended and another song and dance hadn't started yet, the old servant's movement disturbed the imperial banquet.

……

At the imperial banquet, Yang Shenjin heard that his old servant had "found Erlang", and was agitated, so he got up to plead guilty.

"The minister has no way to control the servants. Because of family affairs, the sage's elegant mood of watching the lanterns has been disturbed. Can the minister temporarily resign and deal with housework?"

Li Longji laughed loudly when he heard the words, amiable yet majestic, and said: "Tonight at the Yuan Banquet, we are talking about family affairs, blood is a big deal, you might as well tell me about it."

The sage asked, even though it was a shameful thing, Yang Shenjin had no choice but to say it in the hall.

"The sage loves me so much, I am ashamed. This incident started in the 19th year of Kaiyuan. I had a concubine surnamed Xue who was pregnant and was expelled by her first wife... Many years later. Until last year, when the old servant heard that my first wife had passed away, he sent the concubine to her. Bringing the child back to Chang'an, I don't want to encounter thieves on the way, I lost it and found it again, and lost it again!"

He intentionally made up and down about the matter, and indeed he let the sage order to call the old servant and Yang Shenjin's son to have an audience.

Li Niang was curious about this matter, and took advantage of this gap to discuss with Li Tengkong, but they also talked about her husband-in-law.

"Do you know that my husband-in-law is related to Yang Shenjin?"

Yang Hui was born in the Guanwang Fang of the Yang family in Hongnong, and his ancestor was Yang Xiong, the king of Guande in the Sui Dynasty.Up to now, Guanwangfang is more prominent than Erwang Sanke.

Yang Hui's father was named Yang Shenjiao, who was granted the title of Duke Guan, and was of the same generation as Yang Shenjin; Yang Hui's mother was Princess Changning.

When Li Niang was picking a son-in-law, her biological mother, Concubine Wu Hui, was in favor. After thousands of choices, she picked out this first-class family background, wealth, and Yang Hui was good-looking, smart, and good in everything.

Also because of this relationship, she regarded Yang Shenjin as a party of the Shouwang, and advocated: "I don't know what kind of character and talent Yang Shenjin's concubine is? He has also reached the age of marriage, so I can arrange it."

"I don't know either." Li Tengkong replied.

There are already servants leading people up to Huae Building.

Li Tengkong glanced at it casually, but suddenly froze.

The young man who came up the building walked calmly, even though he was in the midst of the turbulent waves, he still gave people a sense of calmness, who is it if it is not Xue Bai?
Her heart trembled, and she suddenly realized that it must be an agreement between her father and brother that he should be the son of a noble family before marrying her.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to deceive the king? !

But Li Tengkong didn't notice that Li Niang beside him was also standing there in a daze, her eyes full of doubt and puzzlement.

"Impossible! There will never be such a thing..."

~~
Regarding the recognition of father and son, he secretly greeted Yang Hui, the son-in-law.

Yang Hui is the son-in-law of the sage, the same clan of Yang Shenjin, the most prominent direct descendant of the Hongnong Yang family, and the accomplice of Li Ying, who joined forces with Li Linfu to kill the deposed prince Li Ying. as important.

When footsteps sounded behind him, Yang Hui was standing in the hall chatting and laughing.

"Speaking of which, Yang Erlang and I are brothers of the same clan..."

He turned around, with a decent smile on his face.

But in a breath, his expression suddenly froze.

He looked straight at Xue Bai's face, his pupils trembled, and his eyes were full of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

There was only one thought churning in my mind like a stormy sea.

"No way, no way!"

However, Xue Bai's reaction was beyond Yang Hui's expectation.

The young man just stood not far away from him very calmly, crossed his hands in a meticulous salute, and said, "The sage Shangyuan Ankang", nothing unusual.

Yang Hui swallowed dryly, his throat rolled, he took two small steps, looked around, and various messy thoughts flashed through his mind.

"No. I'm not so old at all. It feels like I'm not the same person. I'm older and taller, but I just look the same..."

"Consort? Consort?"

Yang Hui came back to his senses, raised his eyes, and saw a very amiable smiling face.

Gao Lishi was already standing in front of him.

Wearing a purple robe, this most honored servant is six feet five inches tall, with broad shoulders and a broad body. He is very dignified. If you don't look at the smiling face, you are more imposing than many military officers.

"My son-in-law, the sage asked, do you think Erlang and Yang Zhongcheng look alike?"

Yang Hui felt impolite, quickly bowed to Gao Lishi, and replied, "Like, very similar."

Gao Lishi smiled cordially and said: "Yang Zhongcheng once said, 'My three brothers are more than six feet long, with such appearance and such material, and they can be seen in the present age in order to be complete'. What a demeanor... Xiaolangzi, how can you return it? Do not recognize your grandfather?"

While speaking, he turned to Xue Bai.

However, Cai Cai's words seemed to have a deep meaning... Yang Shenjin's quoted sentence was a bit crazy.

Xue Bai responded immediately: "Return to the words of the saint and general Gao. Although I have lost my memory, I can occasionally recall some past experiences recently, such as the books I have read and the words I have heard. It is completely different from what Yang Zhongcheng said. Related, this matter, maybe a mistake?"

Li Linfu was closing his eyes to rest his mind, but he suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the words, and his eyes shot at Xue Bai like lightning.

Even if the officials working for the Prime Minister's Mansion were not at fault, he would kill them whenever he wanted. Who would have thought that Xue Bai would dare to disobey his will today?
This son betrayed!

Opposite Li Linfu, Li Heng had been eating meat and drinking. At this moment, he stopped for a while, and immediately continued to take a drink from the glass, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

"Erlang, I'm your grandpa... my real grandpa!"

Yang Shenjin was surprised for a moment, he didn't care about losing his appearance in front of the imperial court, he turned around quickly and put his hands on Xue Bai's shoulders.

After brewing for a few breaths, he spoke again, his voice was full of the affection of a father, and there was a slight tremor.

"Back then, I was the one who felt sorry for your mother and son, and you had resentment in your heart...but you are still the son of the Yang family!"

Yang Shenjin's tall body stood in front of the saint and Xue Bai, fixedly staring at Xue Bai's eyes, his eyes were full of reminders.

——Zhuzi, you are acting!

When the sage was at his happiest, he prostrated himself and kowtowed, calling out "Grandpa", and the matter was finalized in this way, and the Xiangfu and Yang's residence were all happy.

As long as one simple move, from a white body to a noble family, one step to the sky.

Xue Bai took this opportunity to boldly look up.

He couldn't see the throne, but could only see the concubines on both sides of the banquet. Although he had seen countless beauties in his two lifetimes, he was also amazed. Because Li Longji had no queen, the concubines he accepted were all based on his preferences, and they were all stunning in the world .

Tonight, all the maidservants in Xingqing Palace have only one kind of hair bun, but they are different from each other, the double bun, the falling bun, the half-up bun, the high bun, the double hanging bun, and colorful clothes, sitting there Like a hundred flowers blooming, competing for splendor.

At a glance, spring orchids, summer bamboos, autumn chrysanthemums, and winter plums are all different, only the whiteness and plumpness of their necks are similar.

If the lights in Chang'an are a grand sight tonight, the concubines at the banquet at this time is another grand sight, which is dazzling.

Xue Bai recognized Yang Yuhuan at a glance.

He knew that she was already in her twenties, but just by looking at her appearance, she looked like her. Tonight she had combed her temples, with golden steps on her hair, and under her black hair was an oval face that made it difficult to pick out any flaws. There is a little bit of rouge on the lips, so that people can feel that her lips are very moist from a distance.

If that's the only way, then she is nothing more than a pinnacle of beauty.

In comparison, Yang Yuyao is also extremely beautiful, with a kind of beauty and pride.The difference of Yang Yuhuan is that she is beautiful and doesn't know it... Maybe she doesn't care anymore, it feels like "Anyway, every frown and smile will be beautiful, so don't worry about it".

Also sitting, although Yang Yuyao was lazy, she never forgot to arrange her pair of slender jade legs that she was most proud of.Yang Yuhuan sat there casually and it was so beautiful, but she didn't care at all.

Because she dances.

Only the most peerless dancers can have such a temperament.

At this time, she was watching the progress of the matter with a very curious attitude, leaning forward, poking her head, her hands propped on the seat, her legs leaning sideways together, her pink dancing shoes under the skirt were like small The lotus showed its sharp corners.This is not the sitting posture that a noble concubine should have, and it is too imposing.

But she has beautiful eyes, a graceful neck, and well-proportioned flesh and blood... Others see her as beautiful, but she sees others as just watching the fun.

Xue Bai knew that she had clearly experienced a lot, so he couldn't help being surprised that she could still retain the innocence in her eyes, and that she still had a curiosity about the world like a little girl.

Living in the world, it is inevitable that there will be withering and decay, and the drier the heart becomes, the more boring it becomes.But the years seem to favor Yang Yuhuan, so that she can still be so bright.

Her clean childishness is integrated with her beautiful face and charming figure, and she is not pretentious, forming her unique charm.The flowers are ashamed and the moon is closed, and the color is lively and fragrant.

Yang Yuhuan also noticed his eyes and exchanged a glance with him.

There was only curiosity and doubt in her eyes, as if asking, "Huh? What are you looking at me for?"

Xue Bai then turned to look in the direction where Yang Yuyao was. Yang Yuyao winked at Yang Yuhuan. Yang Yuhuan rolled up the ribbon on her body, stood up slightly, waved her hand, and asked Gao Lishi to come forward to ask questions. The shoes disappeared under the skirt.

This move caused Li Longji to lean over his upper body and ask each other, and the three of them whispered a few words, as if they were talking about something interesting.

Gao Lishi also laughed out of humor.

"Erlang, you are my flesh and blood!"

Yang Shenjin called out earnestly, and pulled Xue Bai's gaze back.

His long beard was trembling and tears were streaming down his face. Seeing that Xue Bai was unmoved, he simply turned around, prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I have no way to govern the family, and I have lost the dignity of a minister. Only the saint understands the heart of the minister who lost it and regained it. I implore the sage to shade my minister Yang Xu, I will die in return for your kindness..."

Li Linfu originally asked him to recognize his son before doing this matter.But unexpectedly, Xue Bai would not cooperate, so Yang Shenjin had no choice but to lure him.

In recent days, he has felt more and more that he needs this son. For example, once the hole in the Taifu is opened, he will have to rely on the protection of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. It is best to be an in-law.

"Yang Xu." Li Longji finally said, "Are you willing to be an official?"

Many courtiers who liked to guess the Sacred Heart at the banquet could tell that the tone of the sage was no longer in a good mood.

The sage first asked about this matter out of curiosity and found it interesting, which contributed to a good story about father and son recognizing each other and added some atmosphere to Shangyuan Ye.

Tonight is neither a state matter nor a case investigation. A great effort has been made to hold the Shangyuan Lantern Festival and entertain all officials for the sake of happiness. The mood of a saint is always the most important thing.

As a result, Xue Bai refused to recognize his father, and Yang Shenjin asked the saint instead.This is similar to last year when a palace enshrined asked the saint to be a Jinshi and rank. It ruined the saint's good intentions and added trouble to the saint.

Both father and son are too ignorant of good and evil!
"Yang Xu, I'm asking you something."

Xue Bai had to ask Li Longji for the second time before he could react, and replied: "Back to the saint, although I have lost my memory, I know it's not Yang Xu, Yang Zhongcheng must have admitted the wrong person."

"Really? What did Yang Qing say?"

Yang Shenjin couldn't get off the tiger, so he responded bravely: "Hui Shengren, this is the son of the minister. He has lost his memory and talks nonsense. The minister and the old servant at home can't be wrong."

"Yang Zhongcheng, it's not your family's business for the saint to watch the lanterns tonight." An old official in purple robe said, "You only have this old servant's opinion on this matter. If you want to find relatives, you might as well hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment, and you will know at the first instance."

"Sage." Li Linfu said immediately, "Yang Zhongcheng misses his beloved son, and there is a misunderstanding, but it's just a family matter, so why do you need the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to come forward? You might as well pretend that you have admitted the wrong person while visiting the Lantern Market, and just laugh it off."

Yang Shenjin was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "It's because I'm in a hurry."

This matter was originally simple, but if it was forced to continue at this time, it might expose that they had joined forces to deceive the saint, so they had to give up.

Li Linfu smiled and said to Xue Bai: "You step back."

With the intention to kill, he calmed down instead.

He is no longer angry with Xue Bai, he no longer needs a disobedient dog, he can kill it as soon as he leaves Xingqing Palace tonight.

~~
Xue Bai didn't wait for Yang Yuyao to make a move, and wanted to take a look at her.

But everyone's eyes were on him, so he had no choice but to bow and leave.

At this time, someone came up the building. It was a general in full armor, with a majestic figure, a solemn face, and a majestic majesty.

"stop."

The general scolded Xue Bai lightly, without saying a word, strode into the hall, and said loudly: "Sage Shangyuan Ankang! I have something important to report, there is some trouble in Chang'an City tonight..."

"It's inevitable, let's have a festive feast tonight, and don't talk about state affairs." Li Longji smiled brightly, "Xue Qing is late, and you should punish yourself with three drinks for taking a seat."

"The sage forgives the sin, can I ask about a family matter?"

"Everyone come to my banquet to talk about family affairs, okay." Li Longji pretended to be angry, but with a joking intention, said: "Yes, what's the matter with Xue Qing?"

"I don't want to bother the sage with personal matters, but I am very puzzled. Why did Yang Zhongcheng want to snatch the minister's concubine as his son?!"

In a word, everyone at the banquet looked at each other in blank dismay.

The meaning of the word "Congzi" is quite general, and today it mostly refers to the son of a brother, that is, a nephew.

Xue Bai saw that the general was wearing Jinwu Guard armor and his surname was Xue, and after hearing the word "Congzi", he had already confirmed who this person was - General Zuo Jinwu, Xue Hui.

Is this the arrangement of the East Palace last time?

While everyone was still surprised at the banquet, he took a quick look at Yang Yuyao.

Yang Yuyao was looking at him with doting eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she smiled charmingly, as if saying, "From now on, you will be mine."

She didn't know the relationship between Xue Hui and Donggong, and felt that things were done well.

Xue Bai thought of the phrase "please entrust a servant in the house" again, and suddenly understood.

There is an incredible person protecting the Eastern Palace in the dark. This person seldom makes a move. Only when the Eastern Palace is alive or dead, will he reach out and gently help the Eastern Palace.

For example, this time, he clearly helped the East Palace, but even if the matter came to light, he only had to say, "The imperial concubine please ask, but the old slave can't evade it." Favor.

This favor... can be owed, it is worth it.

Xue Bai turned his head to look, and saw the other party smiling slightly in this direction, amiable.

He was obviously a big man with power not inferior to Li Linfu, but he seemed to be asking Xue Bai if he could sell him some face.

~~
Everyone in the hall thought that tonight it was just Yang Shenjin's failure to recognize their relatives, which was embarrassing, but they didn't expect such a conflict, so they couldn't help but wait to see Xue Hui and Yang Shenjin argue.

At the same time, they couldn't help being curious... What is so extraordinary about this young man who lost his memory?Let the Yang and Xue families insist on fighting in front of the imperial court regardless of face.

Only Li Heng still didn't raise his head, and was eating the mutton with his hands dripping with oil.

He looked around, but couldn't find the handkerchief, picked up a piece of mustard pancake to wipe his hands, completely unaware that Li Longji happened to catch a glimpse of him wasting food, and showed displeasure on his face.

But when Li Heng wiped his hands, he rolled up the oily mustard pancake and bit into it bit by bit.

Li Longji's perception of this frugal and useless son has improved a bit.

Turning his eyes to Xue Bai, Li Longji put on a friendly smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Someone is here to fight again. It seems that your stir-fried vegetables are very attractive to greedy people."

Yang Shenjin shuddered violently, and froze on the spot.

He suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Xue Hui said with a bitter face: "Saint, I'm not like Yang Zhongcheng talking nonsense. This is the son of my brother. There was a family certificate when he was born, and there was a report file when he got lost. They are all old things and can't be faked." of……"

When everyone heard this solemn statement, they already believed it three-pointed in their hearts.

Princess Xianyi, Li Niang, had one pupil, full of shock.

fake.

It's all fake.

All of them are deceiving the king!

She wished she could open her mouth to shout out, but she could only hold back, knowing that certain things could only be done in the dark...
